Becoming a mother has brought out emotions I never thought I had or could have. It's such an amazing experience. Everytime I think of Kaylee getting older tears come to my eyes because I want her to stay this perfect, innocent, amazing little baby. For the first time in my life I am not looking for the next phase. I am actually savoring every moment. What I once thought was important no longer is. I just want to sit and look into my daughters eyes all day long.

What better way to spend a Saturday then with family and food. Corey and I packed up the stroller with all the ingredients for a picnic. We finally used the LucusFilm picnic bag (Corey's company Christmas gift). We enjoyed sandwiches, pasta salad, and chips while Kaylee had her 5th serving of some yummy milk. Mushu ended up with a few scraps here and there. She didn't mind because she got to play fetch for a long time.

Mushu is getting use to Kaylee. I am surprised to see that she is doing pretty good with getting use to her and her cries. She likes to sniff at her and all her blankets. She is also very protective of her.

This is no joke, Kaylee Brelle Weekley joined the world on April 1st, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. She weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces and is 20.5 inches long. My labor lasted 7.5 hours from the time my water broke until she arrived. I pushed for 1.5 hours which was way longer then I expected. I had an amazing midwife that helped me deliver without any pain medication. I also had some wonderful nurses that were heaven sent to help me push her out. The only way I can explain it is one crazy, intense, painful, unbelievable, amazing experience. The minute I saw her was surreal. Our whole pregnancy I couldn't wait to see what she would look like and when I finally saw her I couldn't believe how cute she was... but of course I would think that she's mine.
